  • Very useful with comprehensive capabilities

    Aquarimate meets my needs and I am glad I bought it. It is very flexible and allows recording of a variety of items in addition to the core function of test logging. Once set up, logging of recurring or intermittent activities is easy. I appreciate the ability to enter livestock information; for example, for reference I’ve entered PAR ranges for corals I own.

    On the other hand, flexible software inherently has a somewhat higher learning curve, still not very high IMO for Aquarimate. My suggestions for improvement include ability to copy supplement and equipment info between aquariums, and the ability to break down expenses by type and time period.

  • Mostly Works - However Support is Nonexistent

    Several bugs identified in the iOS and macOS apps which are preventing parts of the app from functioning. Contacted support multiple time over several weeks with no response. Regretting paying for the additional annual subscription to use the app on my Mac. The only only other apps available, paid or free, are much worse. Strongly considering just going back to a simple spreadsheet.

  • I love this.

    I love being able to put the water test instructions in so I don’t have to look at cards. I love having a timer right there. I love being able to keep records on my tanks. Love love love.
  • So far so good, except…

    The app works well and keeps everything about your aquarium in one place. There is nothing automated about the app however. One has to enter all the information. It would be nice if the app had suggested “fixes” when water parameters are out of whack. My last comment is support is non existent. I paid 9.99 for the app and was charged twice. When I was refunded 9.99, the app no longer worked. I could not use it. Period. It appears one has to pay 9.99 just for the app and an additional 9.99 for a subscription in order to use it. After many emails to support about this, no one ever responded. I was forced to pay the 9.99 again in order to use the app. The only reason I did this was that I had already spent hours entering all my data. To me support is an integral part of an app, if it does not exist, the app should be free. I would suggest trying a different app before buying this one.

  • Good but not fully working

    The app is good and if you need a place to track info a great tool to have but my only issue I cannot join the live section my phone freezes. This a brand new Iphone. I tried on my ipad and it worked but no luck here and all my info is on my ohone that I need to get into the cloud but cannot do so….

  • Bad, bad support

    Watch out. Bought the app for iPad, paid additional for cloud & sharing, and not having any luck with working across platforms such as with iPhone. Many attempts at asking for help, contacting tech support, but no responses. Like others have said, program might be nice (albeit pricey), but with the very bad, nonexistent service/tech support, makes you want to look for better.

  • Pretty Handy

    I just started using this a few days ago and so far its been really handy managing my 8 different aquariums. I keep freshwater species and my only issue so far is it did not come with a GH & KH parameter preinstalled for tracking which is really important for my tanks.
  • Wonderful program

    I used to have my marine tank tasks on 5 different computer programs. Now, it is consolidated into one. I was hoping for half the productivity than what I actually found. Every day I have a list of tasks to perform including parameter checks, dosing, feeding schedules and maintenance. Yes, it takes a bit of time to break down what you do and when you want it done. It was a several day activity, but you can start right away with basics and add as you go along. I would recommend it highly!!

  • Disappointing for a paid service, support doesn’t answer

    I mainly used this app on Android/PC. I’ve had multiple problems over the last year or so, including my tasks constantly disappearing on me on one platform and frequent syncing issues. I’ve submitted multiple support tickets with no answers, and today had to resubscribe for a year to simply login and access my data! That’s not what the subscription even says it’s for, it’s supposed to be for multiple device access (although it’s clearly not supported on other platforms at all). This is extremely disappointing for a paid service and hardly worth the slight convenience it may provide.

    Devs, why do you even bother to have other versions of the app for your consumers to pay for if you don’t support it properly?

  • This app is awesome

    So the app lets me keeps track of my alk mag and cal and so much more that I can add to the program to watch my levels it lets me keep track to see the levels and if they are stable I guess what I’m trying to say is if you buy it you will not be disappointed.
